Beeton arena to receive $25,000 in upgrades
March 19, 2014 · 0 Comments
The Beeton Community Memorial Arena has won $25,000 in upgrades through the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville competition.
139 members joined online to support Beeton, uploading 163 testimonials and pictures demonstrating why Beeton deserved is “Hockeyville”.
Although Beeton made it into the Top 16, the home of the ‘Beeton Stingers’ was eliminated from the competition on Saturday (March 15th) and did not make the Top 2 in the Eastern Bracket – beat out by voting communities in Kingston, NS and Bedeque, PE.
These two Eastern Bracket arenas, faced off against two Western finalists – Sylvan Lake, AB and Salmon Arm, BC. Voting to determine the Top 2 closed on March 17th and at press time the winners had not yet been posted to the Kraft Hockeyville website, however both communities will win $100,000 in arena upgrades and will face off for the Kraft Hockeyville 2014 title.
Final voting to determine the overall winner will begin on March 22 at midnight at krafthockeyville.cbc.ca – when the Top 2 communities will also be revealed.
In addition to the $100,000 upgrade, the grand prize winning community will also receive a 2014–15 NHL® Pre-Season Game and a visit from CBC.
